I like working closely with artists. I think that's very important in fantasy and science fiction - the visual aspect of the worlds and the characters.
I first read science fiction in the old British Chum annual when I was about 12 years old.
Science fiction is huge and varied, and there's almost any sort of book or story you might imagine.
As for genre, my adult books are usually filed under science fiction / fantasy, although some stores put them into romance, and few have stuck them into horror. I consider all my books a mix of steampunk and urban fantasy.
When I write my books, actually, I'm known for very logical rule-based magic systems. I write with one foot in fantasy and one foot in science fiction.
Whenever I read a contemporary literary novel that describes the world we're living in, I wait for the science fiction tools to come out. Because they have to - the material demands it.
It's very strange writing science fiction in a world that moves as fast as ours does.
A lot of what the 'Culture' is about is a reaction to all the science fiction I was reading in my very early teens.
The fact that it's science fiction gives you the license to do anything you want to do.
